Supreme Court Allows Trump’s Dismissal of Last Democratic FTC Commissioner By Jacob Knutson September 22, 2025 Cut Justice Elena Kagan, in a dissenting opinion joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, heavily rebuked the court for granting the stay while Humphrey’s remained precedent. “The President cannot, as he concededly did here, fire an FTC Commissioner without any reason,” Kagan wrote. “To reach a different result requires reversing the rule stated in Humphrey’s: It entails overriding rather than accepting Congress’s judgment about agency design.” Cut These consequential emergency rulings have often left lower court judges in a bind, not knowing whether they should follow formal court precedent or the majority’s shadow docket orders — which are not binding legal precedent. “Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars,” Kagan wrote. “Still more, it should not be used, as it also has been, to transfer government authority from Congress to the President, and thus to reshape the Nation’s separation of powers.”
